General information about Castle Hill (Zhytomyr)
Castle Hill in Zhytomyr is located on the banks of the Kamyanka River. A stone castle surrounded by moats stood here until the 19th century.
The castle was probably founded in the 9th century by a retainer of the Kyiv princes Askold and Dir, but then it could have been located in another place. Zhytomyr Castle was first mentioned in written annals in 1392, when it was captured by the Grand Duke Vitovt of Lithuania. Subsequently, it was repeatedly destroyed and restored. The last castle buildings were demolished in 1852.
Currently, a city square has been laid out on the territory of the castle, and a memorial sign has been installed in honor of the founding of Zhytomyr.
Замкова гора в Житомирі розташована на березі річки Кам'янка. Тут до XIX століття стояв кам'яний замок, оточений ровами.
Замок, ймовірно, був заснований ще в IX сторіччі дружинником київських князів Аскольда та Діра, але тоді він міг бути розташований в іншому місці. У писемних літописах Житомирський замок вперше згадується в 1392 році, коли він був захоплений Великим князем Литовським Вітовтом. Згодом неодноразово руйнувався та відновлювався. Останні замкові споруди були зриті в 1852 році.
Наразі на території замку розбито міський сквер, встановлено пам'ятний знак на честь заснування Житомира.
